Convicts and Sport - Sports Bizarre
About this episode
The episode discusses the sports brought to Australia by the First Fleet and their evolution.
When the First Fleet rocked up to Australia, they brought with them the sports of their homelands, although they weren't all the sports we know today. The sports needed to be quick and easy, and most importantly, you had to be able to bet on them. If you’d like more Sports Bizarre, become a member of Bizarre Plus.
